Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee one by one
One for the little bitty baby
Wrapped in swaddling clothing
Lying in a manger
He was Born, born, Born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall i send thee
I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
He was Born, born, Born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall i send thee
I'm gonna send thee three by three
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
He was Born, born, Born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall i send thee
Well I'm gonna send thee four by four
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
He was Born, born, Born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee ten by ten
Ten for the ten commandments
Nine for the nine who saw the sign
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Seven for that seven that went up to heaven
Six for the six that never got fixed
Five for the gospel creatures
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby

Oh
Yes he was
Born
He was
Born, born, Born in Bethlehem
